Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Ray makes every charter great. He is a down to earth guy who loves to have people enjoy their day on the water. I have personally fished with Capt. Ray for a couple tournaments and even though we were under the stress of winning these tournaments, which we did 🙂, he kept the mood on the boat light and fracked some jokes. Hope to go fishing for permit in July once his boat gets repowered and fixed up. The best guide in Chokoloskee. 🙂🍻
